Also forgot about the stash I found. Me and the old man kept seeing this red roof from the road, so one day we see the guy outside of his house....
Can't get any good pics BUT... I found a '57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser Indy 500 Pace Car. She's been laying under a tarp covered in wet leaves for...
Thanks for the input fellas! The only reason I am looking at trade schools and tech schools is because my family has always been mechanics:...
Hey! I am in high school and am exploring colleges. I had thought about Wyotech but from what I gather, I'm better off somewhere else. I am...
Anything worth doing is worth over-doing Work from the top to the bottom (that applies to everything) You can't unlearn anything Precision is...
Nope, don't believe so. But I've been wrong before!
Thanks porknbeaner. Got me one step closer!
I have always loved an unassuming Dodge Dart powered by a big hairy 440 or something of that notion blowing every other car out of the water. I...
I have a 52 Pontiac Catalina, and did a clip swap, so I had to disconnect all the lines, linkage, etc to the tranny. Does anyone know where to...
Could be either one! That guy's going fast when he's asleep! As for the thread, I've always thought of a Harley sound.
There's lots of those clubs. The Indy Road Rockets are an example. Great traditional car guys just having fun.
That is awesome!! What do you have planned for the rest of it? Lowering, wheels, tires, etc.?
crap. Can't figure out how to put it on here. Darn technology! It's a gennie pace car. Found it about 5 minutes from my house. Drove by for years...
Cringe at this one... It's a REAL 57 MERCURY TURNPIKE CRUISER INDY 500 PACE CAR!!!!!!/Users/jtvannar/Desktop/57merc.jpg
I'd 'bag it, maybe some cool panel paint with the lace, fog, whole 9 yards, and a blinding white tuck and roll interior, maybe some chrome reverse...
Built not Bought! Gotta love the Big money fellas.
I'm making plans as we speak, fellas! Hope to be there!!
Has anyone else thought about how neat a 41-ish Willys kustom would be? How about a 48 Tucker? Unrealistic, but fun to dream about at least!...
No pics but a 53 Desoto grille lights the basement up!
Can't find anything for big ole Poncho motors. BTW, an interesting fact, they idle at 450 rpm in gear!
2. Or you could cut the coils. 1 whole coil=2" drop on almost anything. It doesn't affect your ride at all.
Depends on who wants 'em! I'd throw those bad boys on ebay and watch 'em go.
Yes. Hardtops will and sedans will too.
Welcome from Indiana, fellow Mopar-ist!
I am with 50Delux. The main (practically only) difference in them is the ratio. The 4x4 rearend may be a little lower geared for the application.
Lots of guts! I wouldn't recommend the Hilborns. They tend to load up really badly and cause a few issues. Unless you intend on cramming your foot...
Depends if you want manual or auto. Manual I recommend a wide ratio muncie. Auto I'd go with the 727. I believe both require an adaptor plate.
I was 14 and mom's friend just bought a new GT350 Mustang. He said, "Go for a ride?" and of course I said "Heck yeah!". We hit the intersection,...
Arching the springs will be a little tougher than most of your other options. If your going for a gasser, just change it to a tubular straight...
Got big plans???
